A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "I hand weave & intricately knot 4-164 strands of fiber together in patterns inspired by the pendants & beads I find in markets & bazaars on my world travels that inspire each original piece. The colors & vibe in the travel pendants influence the accent beads choices & intricacies of pattern I weave. I also adorn them with beads that I handmake out of glass on a mandrel & ceramics on my mandral with fire & in my kiln."
